similar to: GMM, panel data, functions lag() and diff()

I have a dataframe with many firm-year observations and many variables. Not all firms have information for all the years. I want another dataframe with only those firms that have information all years. This is, I want a balanced panel data, but with the maximum number of years. In my reprocucible example I want to keep firms 1,2 and 3 (period 2000 to 2004). I need your help to create a

Hi R-helpers I want a function that performs the opposite of lag() with panel data. I have transformed my data before with pdata.frame(mydata, index=c("groupindex", “timeindex")) And then I’ve done lag(mydata, -1) but it doesn’t work. The error message was: Error in rep(1, ak) : invalid ''times'' argument Thank you in advance, Cecília Carmo

Hi R-helpers, I have two questions I hope you could help me with them: In the plm package how can I calculate the R2 within, R2 between and R2 overall? Is there any special reason to not display these values? When using first differences do I need to have some special care with dummies (both year dummies and industry dummies)? (A friend who works with Stata told me that there is

Hi R-helpers, My real data is a panel (unbalanced and with gaps in years) of thousands of firms, by year and industry, and with financial information (variables X, Y, Z, for example), the number of firms by year and industry is not always equal, the number of years by industry is not always equal. #reproducible example firm1<-sort(rep(1:10,5),decreasing=F) year1<-rep(2000:2004,10)

I need help in subseting a dataframe: data1<-data.frame(year=c(2001,2002,2003,2004,2001,2002,2003,2004, 2001,2002,2003,2004,2001,2002,2003,2004), firm=c(1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4),x=c(11,22,-32,25,-26,47,85,98, 101,14,87,56,12,43,67,54), y=c(110,220,302,250,260,470,850,980,1010,140,870,560,120,430,670,540)) data1 I want to keep the firms where all x>0 (where there are

Hi everyone, I have already used split() and unsplit() in data frames without problems, but now I’m applying these functions to other data and when using unsplit() I have received the following message: Error in `row.names<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, value = c("1", "2", "3", "4", : duplicate ''row.names'' are not allowed In

Hello Cecilia, nice hearing from you again. I must restate a couple of my old hints, though ;^) 1) please always put the authors c/c, as we are not guaranteed to browse through the r-help every day 2) please provide reproducible examples. As example(pooltest) keeps working fine, as do some other cases I tried (Grunfeld data etc.), I don't know what the problem is but evidently your data are

Hi everyone. I have two questions. I’ve found some other questions and answers similar to these but they didn’t solve my problem. I’m working with a panel of firm/years observations (see my reproducible example). I’m using the plm package. My panel not only is unbalanced but also have some gap’s in years. #reproducible example

Dear list, dear Cecilia and Daniel, sorry for coming in ten days late, I've been very busy lately so I came across this email only today. This is just to make some points clearer re: fixed effects and r2 in package 'plm', to both you and the list. In particular, to make you aware of some additional features. Please see my comments below, with '##'. Best, Giovanni

Hi r-helpers! I need to save the output of summary() function that I?ve runned like this: z<- lmList(y~x1+x2| x3, na.action=na.omit,data1,subset=year==1999) w<-summary(z) The output (w) is something like this: Call: Model: y ~ x1 + x2 | x3 Data: data1 Coefficients: (Intercept) Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|) 1 0.081110514 1.141352e-01

Hi everyone, I’m working with a panel of firm/years observations. My panel not only is unbalanced but also have some gap’s in years. For example, firm 1 has 1999, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2005, firm 2 has 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, and so on. I’m using the plm package and what I’m asking is how can I handle with this gap’s ? Thank you very much, Cecília Carmo Universidade de Aveiro

Thank you all!!! The problem was the decimal symbol! My data was saved in a txt file, so I?ve introduced the dec="," in ?read.table? and it worked. What I?ve done was coeficientes<-read.table("coeficientes.txt",sep="\t",header=T,dec=",") Then, subset worked fine coeficientesWanted<-subset(coeficientes,b1>0) Thanks again, Cec?lia Carmo

Hello, although I searched for a solution related to my problem I didn?t find one, yet. My skills in R aren?t very large, however. For my Diploma thesis I need to run a GMM estimation on a dynamic panel model using the "pgmm" - function in the plm-Package. The model I want to estimate is: "Y(t) = Y(t-1) + X1(t) + X2(t) + X3(t)" . There are no "normal" instruments

Hi everyone, I have been merging many big dataframes (about 80000 rows each) and I never had this problem, but now it happened to me and I want to know if someone knows what could be happening. The final dataframe has many rows, an impossible number! I have done edit(dataframe) and I saw that there are many repeated rows (all equal). Thanks for any help, Cec?lia Carmo Universidade de

Hi, Try this: final3New<-read.table(file="real_data_cecilia.txt",sep="\t") dim(final3New) #[1] 5369??? 5 #Inside the split within split, dummy==1 for the first row.? For lists that have many rows, I selected the row with dummy==0 (from the rest) using the #condition that the absolute difference between the dimensions of those rows and the first row dimension was minimum

Hello, I am switching to R from Stata and I am having particular trouble with the transition from Stata's 'xtabond' and 'ivreg' commands to the "plm" package. I am trying to replicate some of the dynamic panel data work using the UK Employment data in Arellano and Bond (1991) and available as 'EmplUK' under the 'plm' package. I have been
